Lois Lane will continue to have a journalist ally in Smallville on Superman & Lois, as recurring actor Sofia Hasmik has been promoted.
Hasmik, who plays Chrissy Beppo, will become a series regular in Superman & Lois‘ second season, according to Deadline. Beppo first appeared in “Heritage,” the second episode of the debut season, as the publisher, editor, writer and sole employee of the Smallville Gazette.
To Beppo’s surprise, Lane — her idol — comes to join the Gazette after moving to Smallville with her family and angrily quitting the Daily Planet after publisher Morgan Edge rewrote and watered down one of her articles about Edge’s business dealings in the town. Lane and Beppo team up to investigate Edge’s plans to buy defunct mining operations in Smallville, which leads to them also dealing with the emergence of meta-human activity in the community. Beppo is technically Lane’s boss, but Lane is more experienced and doesn’t hesitate to take charge, even when Beppo doesn’t want to follow.
Hasmik’s other credits include the 2019 revival of Mad About You and the film All the Bright Places for Netflix.
The Season 1 finale for Superman & Lois is scheduled for Aug. 10.
Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Dylan Walsh, Alex Garfin, Jordan Elsass, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Inde Navarrette and Wolé Parks. The series airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
